Hello, I have a 4 matic 2014 E550 (facelift) and recently purchased some Vogtland lowering springs. Everyone seems to be saying a camber kit is a good idea but i have not been able to find one. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thansks

 

Maybe consider one of those k-mac adjustable control arms for the rear wheels, your front wheels will still be within spec after lowering.

 

Yes Toe (directional) adjustment is all that is available OEM (new car industry's best kept secret).

CAMBER - Allows to actually "change tire contact angles" to resolve costly, premature edge tire wear, improving traction / understeer / oversteer

CASTER - Correctly resolves steering pull, increases steering response. With better turn in and high speed directional control. Along with improved anti dive / lift under brake and acceleration.

We saw the need therefore to re-instate from the early 90's full precise adjustment capability - TO FIX IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. No more ongoing trips to dealers or alignment shops or constantly changing tire brands.

No above Camber and Caster adjustment is OK if maintained and driven at showroom height. But the reality of day to day commuting encountering high cambered roads or altered height through load carrying or lowering. Fitting wide profile tires / Wheels, Curb knocks.... Camber and Caster - full adjustment capability is essential.

For the front (only) you can fit inaccurate (one only offset position) fluted bolts - but they only offer a minimal 0.3 degrees (1/8").

The K-MAC patented design front kit provides up to 3 times the adjustment range of the "one position" bolts and is PRECISE SINGLE WRENCH ADJUSTABLE - accurately on car (under load) direct on alignment rack!

Extra feature is that the front kit replaces the 4 highest wearing suspension bushings and is mono ball /2 axis (self aligning) design without the OEM oil and air voids. Result is noticeably improved brake and steering response.

Rear kit also provides precise Camber adjustment for the first time (and extra Toe adjustment to compensate for the new Camber facility). Bush Extraction tool included allowing to fit on vehicle.

Other popular kits manufactured are front "replacement" top strut mounts (coil spring models) - for "Track days" Stage 2 (Street / Race) or Stage 3 (Full race) when wanting to reduce understeer - in the pursuit of hitting those corner apexes every time and going deeper into the corners with increased traction and braking response.

Also manufactured is uprated replacement bushings (12) for the '6' multi link rear arms. Providing significant improvement to rear end stability, less twitch / flex, loss of traction especially when applying power to lane change / overtake.

KMAC camber kit is kind of expensive. Cost more then the springs. Are there any other options? Im lowering to get better handling around corners

 

Is this image saying camber can be adjusted without any kits? front and back?
